Young Martin’s Reels was created to honor my dad Martin B. Stivers of Louisville KY. He was an avid fisherman and repaired thousands of fishing reels in his lifetime. I spent numerous hours watching him do so, but I have forgotten most of what he taught me. Now that he is gone, and I find myself in need of reel repair, so I am learning how it is done and trying my best to pass it on.
If I can be of assistance, feel free to contact me Rick48cj2a@yahoo.com
I would also like to thank Dennis Kuntz of 2nd Chance Tackle. His videos have helped to fill in the gaps in my “reel” knowledge. Without his RU-vid videos I’m afraid Young Martin’s Reels would not exist.

New to open face reels and got my line tangled underneath the spool I never would have figured it out if not for this video

I’m sure you could have gotten there eventually, I just made it easier. Fish On!

Rick, did this reel have stainless screws throughout? They could have made the reel with the color in the graphite so paint would not matter. This is why I like the metal case reels with baked on paint. The design of the reel is a classic one but I just wonder about the longevity of the reel. I’ve looked at the saltwater versions but I decided against getting one. It will be interesting to see how it lasts on your boat. You’re correct that we need reels at this price point on the market. Glad you showed us one of these! - Chris (I’m off to the coast in the morning. Wish me luck!)

@youngmartinsreels5314 Год назад

Chris, if those are stainless, they are the softest stainless I’ve ever seen.

@@youngmartinsreels5314yeah, that’s what I figured. The old adage of you get what you pay for is still basically true. Still, for the money this may be about as good as you can get. It doesn’t appear to be a bad reel - not great but not bad either. - Chris

That’s what you call a rookie mistake when you leave the bell under pressure. Lol!!!

@youngmartinsreels5314 Год назад

Yes it is. Of course you all know that I make plenty of mistakes.

I bought the 8 combos for my boat rick and the only problem I had were the handles. The handles to me were the weakest on the reel. But other than that it’s a great reel.👍

@youngmartinsreels5314 Год назад

So did they break where I felt they were weak? How many broke?

@Marioguajardo3167 Год назад

@@youngmartinsreels5314 mine has a little button to push and put the handle sidesways for storage. I broke 2 of them and bought a different handle and it works better then the original handle.

@ddselvig Год назад

Mario - Those handles must be a commodity item. I see replacement handles for those reels being sold on eBay all the time. A friend of mine broke his handle last week, and I steered him to the right part on eBay.

@Marioguajardo3167 Год назад

@@ddselvig yes I replaced the ones I broke and work even better

@Stank_possum 3 месяца назад

Can this be switched to right hand?

@youngmartinsreels5314 3 месяца назад

Yes it can be switched to right hand. You just unscrew the handle and put it on the other side.

@warpedweirdo 10 месяцев назад

Looks like it will catch quite a few fish so long as it is maintained, you don't use the gears to do heavy lifting, and you keep the drag tension reasonable. And plastic bushings are better than insta-rust steel bearings in my book, standing up to horrific neglect because they don't need much if any lubrication. This is the sort of design ultra-cheap reels should stick to.

@youngmartinsreels5314 10 месяцев назад

I had to go back in and lubricate the reel again because it was making a ticking sound during retrieval. Since then it has worked fine but it hasn’t caught any fish yet.
